At Above the Law, Joe Patrice points out that fired Washington State football coach Nick Rolovich, who was fired for cause (meaning no severance package) for not getting vaccinated as required by Washington state law, is making stuff up. A snippet:
His attorney, Brian Fahling, announced the upcoming suit in a press release:
“It is a tragic and damning commentary on our culture, and more specifically, on Chun, that Coach Rolovich has been derided, demonized, and ultimately fired from his job, merely for being devout in his Catholic faith,” the release said.No, he . . . wasn’t. He may be suing on his sincerely held belief that he should get $3.6 million from the state of Washington, but it’s certainly not because of his Catholic faith. You know how I know this isn’t about “being devout in his Catholic faith”? . . .
The Pope noted that social and political love is built up through “small, individual gestures capable of transforming and improving societies.”
“Getting vaccinated is a simple yet profound way to care for one another, especially the most vulnerable,” he said.

Still Rising Again after All These Years 0
Charles M. Blow points to what’s happening in Texas and warns of the threat of Jim Crow Redux. Here’s a bit of his article;
Furthermore, according to The Tribune, “In the proposed Senate map, 64.5% of the districts have white majorities,” and “white Texans make up the majority of eligible voters in 60.5% of the proposed congressional districts.”
How else to describe this other than racist gerrymandering? This is an attempt to lock in white dominance and control even after white people no longer have a numerical advantage.

Shirley Smith describes how a private equity firm purchased her employer, a long-established Detroit furniture retailer, picked its bones clean, than cast it and its employees aside.
It is a chilling tale of greed and rapacity.

Afterthought:
I had a chance discussion yesterday with one of my neighbors while we were picking up our mail.
Both of us remember images on the telly vision of children in iron lungs because of polio. Both of us had childhood diseases–chicken pox, measles (I didn’t have mumps when I was a kid, but my parents did while I was a kid and it was scary for this kid–they were both sick in bed together being miserable)–for which there are now vaccines. Both of us remember the sense of relief when the Salk and Sabin vaccines became available. Both of us remember when vaccine records (AKA “vaccine passports”) were routine things. (I don’t know if my neighbor has kids, but I certainly remember keeping my kids’ “vaccine passports” up-to-date so they could attend school.)
My friend mentioned to my neighbor that I had had a reaction to my COVID booster (I’ll take the reaction over COVID seven days a week and twice on Sundays). He told me that a long-time friend of his had refused to get vaccinated (“He woudln’t get the shot”) and had recently passed away from COVID and that said friend’s wife, who had also refused to get vaccinated, had fallen ill, but had recovered.
I know nothing about my neighbor’s political leanings, and I did not ask.
But we agreed that a sizable portion of our polity has eschewed the concept of the common good.
